ColR1948 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I recently had to make a few changes in my PC, in doing so changed a letter on the drive I had my flight sims on from E to D. Anyway today I went to do a flight plan ang this error, I did a registry scan and it supposed to have fixed some errors but still can't get AIFP to work. I downloaded it again and installed it but as you see got the error. any ideas please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 I downloaded AIFP2 and that works fine, if I read it right in AIFP3 I can unzip in to aifp2 and overwrite and it should work. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 Nope the overwriting idea didn't work, back to the drawing board. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Gibson Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Use the Flight1 Registry Repair Tool and point it to the new location? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 @Bernard: Ty mate, done it, funny when I was doing it I remembered, kicked myself for forgeting. @Tom: I opened the repair tool but AIFP3 was not in the window, so it is still saying it can't find FS9 or FSX.

Col. The Flight1 only corrects the FSX path in the registry. Open it, point it to FSX.exe and accept. Registry should be fixed. If AIFP still can't find FSX then open AIFP.ini in a text editor and check what 'Path to FSX=' as well as 'Path to FSX.cfg=' displays and correct it if need be. Hopefully, one of those two work.

ColR1948 Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 Hi Ernest, Thanks for the reply, I looked in AIFP and can't see AIFP.ini looked in AIFP.cfg and nowhere to put a path. I ran the Flight1 repair and it said everything is now fine, but still AIFP can't find FS9 or FSX. I have both sims on a seperate drive not in the C drive, they are both in the E drive, but like I said AIFP2 works fine. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flattermann Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Hi Col, I searched AIFP.ini with Windows_Search and found it in C:\FSX\Addon Scenery\Traffic\AIFP. Perhaps your AIFPfolder is at a other place but the searchfunction should find. happy landings! Christian:pilot: Intel i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHZ, 4 Kerne, 16 GB MSI RX 480; M.

In some versions of Windows you must run the Flight 1 Repair Tool "As Administrator", so do try again. It is prone to telling porky-pies about having made the repair if you don't.

ColR1948 Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 I think I found out why this isn't working, in AIFP2 there is an ini file that points to fs9 but in the download of AIFP3 there is no ini file. I tried to adapt the AIFP2 ini for for AIFP3 but I need the right text. so has anyone got the ini file for AIFP3 please? Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 Well I found a copy on one of my old disks and I had to change the drive letter in the ini file, I kind of got it working but got this error. Not sure where to look to correct this any ideas please? Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColR1948 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 I got it thank you, I treid it but got same error, this is strange that the download didn't work and it had no ini file. Yet the AIFP2 worked OK, maybe becuase this new one if for FS2020 as well, something in it that isn't working right. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running AIFP 3.2.21 in Windows 10. I get the option to choose either FS9 or FSX within AIFP. Try unzipping AIFP to a temporary folder. Open it, then close it. It should have generated a .ini file. I've attached the one that was generated automatically by 3.4.3.15, which is the latest version.

ColR1948 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 I got one of those HDD swap modules for the PC, very easy to use, just slot in your spare HDD, close the door on the module and it connects to the PC. I put my old HDD with Flight Sim in and it connected straight away, tried AIFP3 and hey presto it all worked. So I'm back in the air with my AI aircraft, thanks for all your help though guys I do appreciate it. This is that HDD swapper as I call it, install it in the PC then it connects vis SATA at the back.
